Skiing is a popular winter sport, but can put you at risk for injury because of the fast speeds at which skiers come down the slopes. The chances for knee injury are especially high because a skier's feet are locked into the skis. The ski can twist and pull your knee beyond its capacity, resulting in a knee strain or even torn ligaments. You can help prevent skiing knee injuries by learning how to fall correctly and by wearing a ski knee support brace. A skiing knee brace helps prevent your joints from moving too far apart and may help you avoid injuries that would otherwise take you out for the season.
